Partly cloudy, windy, high 39

A cold front will be moving into the region today. This will be a dry frontal passage though, as skies will be partly cloudy. The cold air behind this front will be lagging behind a little bit, so high temperatures are still expected to top out at a seasonal upper-30s.

Winds will be rather strong again, potentially gusting up to 40 mph at times this afternoon. These winds may also carry some lake-effect flurries across New York and into the Berkshires today (but the Springfield area will stay dry).

Bitter cold will be the main focus for the upcoming week. High temperatures Monday and Tuesday will only be in the 20s, with high temperatures stuck in the teens for Wednesday and Thursday (along with morning lows at or below zero). A low pressure system developing off the coast will likely bring a couple inches of snow to western Massachusetts Monday night into Tuesday morning.
